hey guys I'm new here but I got my hands on a 1971 dodge charger for 2 grand. Shes a driver and shes pretty reliable. the body is 98% there and the interior is pretty worn but the head liner is perfect. I have been looking for a taillight panel and cant find anything under 500. wondering if y'all know anyone who might have one?? My name is Joe I live in commyfornia in the people rebulik of kalifornia. lol I will be posting pictures soon.

Hi and welcome

Tail panel ? you mean tail lights ? R/T(500) or regulars(Bee/SE) ?

If R/T(500) sorry, hard to find anything on less than $500 for those, and if you do, needs some heavy restore or even lenses, where repro lenses itself are being sold in $375 or so

If Regular(Bee/SE) more less the same, with the diff maybe a little bit cheaper and lenses are not available repro, although not extremelly hard to find NOS, so being NOS won't expect to get them cheap.

thats 69/70, not 71

71/74s don't have a "tail panel" indeed. The bumper and tailights makes the "tail panel"

are you sure your car is 71 ?

Nacho, He's probably got the normal '71 tail lights with the lenses missing. The regular '71 housings are plastic too.

Nacho-RT74

Yes thats what I think about he got the regulars...

Didn't know regulars are plastic though. All assemblied in Venezuela where with louvered tail lights ( pot metal ).

I never found the 73-74 style to be so bad.  :shruggy:

I don't mind them, I just prefer the 72 that are similar to the 69, but I haven't found any yet. The ones I have are cracked.

The 72 base tail lights are the long skinny lights similar to 69. Yes I'm being serious. I know there not as big and same exact design but there close.

If you want a nice 3rd Gen. a 73/74 is your worst option. :Twocents:
71/72 is the way to go.  :Twocents:

Well this car was the first car I ever purchased on my own and it also only has 75,000 miles on it.  I want a 69, but I don't have a million dollars.  So I had to settle for this one. I hope once I get it finished I can sale it and then buy a 69. It's a dream to own a 69

But you can do most of that to the 73/74 if you find correct parts correct
